This aged vegan cheese wheel is bound to capture consumer attention on the shelf. Coated with Black Ash, the product exhibits a refined texture that is "dense, smooth, [and] creamy." The taste of the product also stands out with a "mildly tangy, buttery sweetness."
Miyoko's Creamery, which is based in Sonoma, California, fermented cashew cream with live cultures to achieve the flavor and texture quality of the vegan cheese wheel. In addition to being dairy- and lactose-free, the product also does not include any cholesterol, gluten, and soy. It is non-GMO, as well.
The company also suggests possible pairings and recipes for the vegan cheese wheel. An example of this would be the Vegan Black Ash & Pear Crostini.
